5/16/16 UPDATE: The forum has been updated to the most recent release of forum software and the site has been migrated to the new server. The database errors we were experiencing last week have been cleared up and the site is operating without any errors at this time. Over the course of the next week we will stress test the server and begin adding some of the old site features back in. At this time you may begin normal posting without risk of data loss. Thank you for your patience during this time of transition.

Modded Matt: Sorry guys my personal life has taken over once again. I am going to shut this server down if someone does not take it over. I have gotten the fees down to about $50 per quarter. Please contact me if you would like to take over or contribute to keeping the site going.February 06, 2018, 12:55:09 PM

Developer unknownv2 has released a proof of concept exploit for the Xbox One. The exploit leverages a series of known vulnerabilities in the Microsoft Edge Browser (CVE-2016-7200 and CVE-2016-7241). ...

Using mod tools to tweak the files installed on the Classic’s built-in storage, users are able to more than double the number of games installed on the retro system. Now, the modding tools have gotten a big update and it’s now possible to installed a crazy huge number of games — as in, the entire North American retail library of over 700 titles.

The go-to tool for NES Classic hacking is called Hakchi, and while the original release and subsequent 2.0 update helped popularize Classic modding, the newly launched Hakchi 2.11 is so, so much more powerful. Developed by emulation guru Cluster from the GBATemp forums, the new version of the software creates a folder system on the Classic to support a much, much larger number of games than before and turning the system into a true emulation powerhouse.

What’s even more impressive, the new mod is capable of running games from within zipped files, which saves a lot of space and allows for even more titles to be packed onto the system’s relatively modest ~300MB storage capacity.

The early errors associated with Hakchi — including the software’s pesky habit of throwing false positives on PC virus scanning — have been ironed out. The vast majority of users report a relatively seamless uploading procedure and flawless emulation of the games they’ve uploaded. That said, there are always a few titles that don’t play well with emulators, and some notable games like Battletoads require additional tweaking. Thankfully, the emulation community is extremely active and you can stay updated on patches for problem games on the Hakchi thread.
